Local Upcoming Fundraising Events - Help Support Us!

Split This Rock needs your support to bring poetry to the center of
public life. We're also asking for support to send the amazing young
poets of the DC Youth Slam Team to Brave New Voices International Youth Poetry Slam Festival in Philadelphia, PA this July!

Last year the team made it to final stage -- where they placed 2nd!
Invest in their journey this year by supporting Split This Rock at two upcoming events. We count on our passionate family. If you can't make it to either event please contribute today online!

20% for Poetry!

July 1 - 6-8pm

Dine @ Roti - 1629 K St. NW

Dine
at the Roti Mediterranean Grill (ONLY the location at 1629 K Street in
DC) on July 1, 6 - 8pm, to help raise money for Split This Rock! Roti will donate 20% of what is spent by patrons participating in the fundraiser to Split This Rock.

To
ensure that your purchase is credited correctly, you'll need to
present a flyer for the fundraiser to the cashier so be sure to get one
BEFORE entering the restaurant. A Split This Rock representative
will be outside of the restaurant on July 1 or you can contact Camisha
Jones at Split This Rock (camisha@splitthisrock.org) to have a card sent to you prior to the event!

The
members of the DC Youth Slam Team take on the adults of the Beltway
Poetry Slam in this fundraiser to help both teams travel to compete
nationally! Come out for an evening of friendly competition, words,
food, and drink!

About Me

Blog This Rock is a community forum sponsored by Split This Rock, an organization that calls poets to the center of public life and celebrates and promotes socially engaged poetry.
You are invited to our nation’s capital for our next poetry festival in March 2016.
Split This Rock Poetry Festival will feature readings, workshops, panel discussions on poetry and social change, youth programming, films, parties, and activism—a unique opportunity to hone our activist skills while we assess and debate the public role of the poet and the poem in times of crisis.
